Christmas Market overcrowding is not the only problem

The overcrowding at the Princes Street Christmas Market has rightly caused people to raise security concerns.

It’s great that our city attracts so many people to its festivities – both residents and tourists. Edinburgh Waverley was mobbed at the weekend as visitors flocked to see some of the best winter attractions in the world. But the authorities have a duty to ensure that those attending are kept safe, and the stories from last week make for worrying reading.
